You have some dirt, ink on your arm. A little soap will wash that off! Make the watch look better...........

Imgur is not an allowed imagehost on rwi I think. That’s why we can’t see your pic. You can use postimg.cc.

I converted it for you. I hope you do not mind. I hate to see a 5513 shot going to waste Imgur have blocked us.

Good to see you

We have our own site now www.picr.me but it is down for maintenance at the moment and I do not know when DR3M3L will have it back up. I am using postimage.org at the moment.

If you are ever letting the Bee go let me know

Nice 5513
Can you share some specs please.
The dial looks very nice.

You can also use imgbb.com for picture hosting (meanwhile picr.me is down for service)

Hello Mate i build this franken many years ago - in those times gen rolex parts were affordable ...
payed in 2011/12 approx 80-110 EUR on ebay for gen 5513 serviced index dial in nearly mint condition ...

the build was as far as i rembember:

MBW case with accurate drilled lug holes + gen spring bars
GEN service 5513 index dial (intermediate or "service" reference - the most beautiful one from my personal perspective - very rare, but this combination was as Gen existing)
Gen tube + crown 703 if i remeber correctly +
SWISS 2846 or another GEN Swiss low beat Mvt -w/o DW function and w dial dots gave good space beetween dial and handstake to look nice
Clark hands and WSO Endlinks
serviced falt edgy 5513 xtal and not the bulky round one

Of course this was not the authentic 5513 build, but the serviced dial wg indices version with flat edgy crystal - was really rare bird and awesome looking in my view

Today i would never sell this 5513 piece again

Damn! This is a nice looking piece. I've always wanted to start a project like this, and this seems like it's the perfect excuse to start collecting parts.

Wear it well
